5 publics in the top 10, might the worm be turning?

With many of the hockey players heading to full season teams it will be interesting to see if there is more balance of kids who play hockey as a second spot and kids who have no interest in playing serious hockey in college (public) with those teams that spend time recruiting middle school kids and have those who can play go two years and then leave (Catholics). :older_man:

So Pope has played 2 games and SJP has played 18?

Me thinks it was the team's "Previous ranking"

Burlington lost to Barnstable today 4-3. Won't be top 10 for long.

My guess is BC High has a strong recruiting presence south of Boston and somehow convinced 3-4 players who should be playing elsewhere to stay and they are the team to beat. The rest look like anything can happen. :v:

Falcons always suck, how can Pope be strong?

Who are the 'Falcons'??? And where did the Pope's players go?
